Archive for the ‘Ford France’ tag

The seller of this 1954 Ford Comete Monte Carlo on Hemmings.com didn’t provide much information about the car itself, so we’re left to investigate the Monte Carlo on our own. Built for just one year for Ford France by the same company that would later build the Facel Vegas, the Monte Carlo used a 105hp 239-cu.in. version of the Ford flathead V-8 in what was then the most expensive Ford product anywhere. Only 699 were built, and there can’t have been many out of that number to make it to the states, which is probably why it’s being displayed in the condition it’s in.
